CORRECTION FOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND PRESSURE:
Calibration
of
the
Gastec
detector
Tube
No.155
is
based
on
a
tube
temperature
of
20°C
(68°F)
and
not

temperature
of
the
gas
being
sampled,
approximately
50%

1.
For
checking
the
leakage
of
the
pump,
insert
a
fresh
sealed
detector
tube
into
the
pump.
Follow
instructions
provided
with
the
pump
operating
manual.
2.
Break
tips
off
a
fresh
detector
tube
with
the
tube
tip
breaker
of
the
pump.
3.
Insert
the
tube
into
the
pump
inlet
with
arrow
(
G
►
)
on
the
tube
pointing
toward
pump.
4.
Make
certain
the
pump
handle
is
all
the
way
in.
Align
the
guide
mark
on
the
pump
body
with
the
guide
mark
on
the
handle.
5.
Pull
the
handle
all
the
way
out
until
it
locks
at
one
pump
stroke
(100
ml).
Wait
three
minutes
and
confirm
the
completion
of
the
sampling.
Repeat
the
above
sampling
procedure
two
more
times.
